the control of Mr.. f. nj. Atkinson and MT,
II. C. Myers, which assures the success OF
this department, especially as good prem
iums are offered. Mrs. John II. Hobbs

work, etc, also the children's depart
ment These ladies having at former Fairs
made their departments one OF the grand
est exhibitions, the prospects are that they
will have q larger and finer display aud
will excel any previous exhibit in this de-
partment.
Arrangements have been made as usua
with all railroads leading into the city iol
special rates and special trains. Our mer
chants and manufacturers are exertiDs
themselves to make fine displays, as from
experience they know that there is no bet
ter advertisement than to show their bust
ness to the $1,000 people that visit ou
fairs.
If the weather is favorable there is nj
doubt but that the seventh great exposition
will be the grand success it deserves to be

A BOLD ROB dERY.
The Entire Furnishings of a House stolen
and Sold.

Inc fntlre tuTnlsnlURs u u Stoich
and Sold.
The police, for the past two or three
days, have been working up rather bold
aud cheeky case of robbery, perpetrated in
this city about three weeks ago. On the
Fourth of July, Mrs. Gaitley, having
made arrangements TO remove to COviDg-
ton, Ky, packed and boxed up her house
hold and kitchen furniture, aud had it
taken to the Baltimore and Ohio depot.
The railroad authorities were not receiving
freight ON that day, but they gave her
permission TO dump the stuff out upon
the platform. While she was celebrating
what to do, well-dresSed stranger in-
troduced himself TO the woman, and vol
unteered to look after the shipment of the
goods the next day, advising her at the
same time to 90 on her Journey.
The woman took this course and
left for Coviugton. After waiting about
two weeks for the arrival of her things,
Mrs. Galley wrote q letter of enquiry to
Chief Smith, who received it last Satur-
day. An officer was at once detailed on
the case, and he discovered that on the
9Th or 9th of July the goods were removed
from the depot platform by the young
man who had introduced himself to the
woman on the Fourth. The officer traced
the goods TO two auction houses in the
Second ward, in one of which the fellow
sold the larger portion of the goods for the
nominal sum of Sc, and in the other dis
posed Of the sewing machine and cooking
stove for small sum. Most of the goods
have been sold by the auctiOneers, and AZ
there is no clue as to the identity of the
thief, Mrs. Gaitley would seem to be out
of all her household goods.

ton miners are not represented at the con-
ference. Nearly all the works IN the

NEW NnRK InlY d

The directors Of the Wheeling and Lake
Erie railroad to-day adopted an address to
the stockholders, proposing an extension of
the road from Bowerstown, the present
terminus, TO Wheeling, making through
line from Toledo to Wheeling. The ex-
tension will be about 20 miles in length.
The line has been looked upon as an exclu-
sively coal road, but the directors antici-
pate the passenger and general freight
traffic will assume the relative Importance
il should have if their project is carried
out. This will be only fulfillment of the
original plan which was not carried out
before on account of the difficulty in the
construction.
